I was thinking, There has not been a thread where you can post ideas of a unicycle made of different parts to see what people think of them, before you go out and buy the parts… so, I’ll go first to show you what I mean, then you put yours down or just criticise my ideas
Right… so mine. I can guaruntee you will not like the frame, but hey!
Actually, apparently it’s not, the build tollerence is just low enougth to allow for it, and also on the custom nimbuses thread, the first page has one.
about the hub,
I will do. what is better, the quax yellow or nimbus?
bah don’t worry about the bearing caps to much, It would probably be fine.
I have been running a Nimbus ISIS hub in a Yuni frame with 40mm pressed bearing holders for a year now with no problems.
In theory the pressed bearing holders put uneven pressure on the bearings making them wear faster but most people never have a problem with it.
And no need for a shim for the bearings, a shim would just make things worse as your “problem” is your bearings are to big for the frame not too small.
Just took a quick peek. The hub/crank choice is questionable, the early batches of those cranks were easily bent/broken with hard riding, I muni on them with no problem but I know how you young guns like to beat up your gear. Also moments are seriously cheaper.
Nah, I dont like the moments, I like the more round tubular bmx style cranks.
If i would grind the pinch bolt off of my DX cranks, and it still work, that would be great, but i cant because its required for them to clamp. Maybe i can clamp them down and weld them on or something, then grind the nub off.
They are also very heavy, so i wanted lighter ones. Its either the qu-ax cranks, or the koxx street cranks.
It’s a little cheaper, and really wide for a 20" rim. I think you’ll really like the feel of the wider rim on your unicycle, without sacrificing any “zippiness” you may get from the 20" thin tires.
